Narrated ?Aisha; the mother of believers: ?Allah enjoined the prayer when He enjoined it, it was two Rakat only (in every prayer) both when in residence or on journey. Then the prayers offered on journey remained the same, but (the Rakat of) the prayers for non-travellers were increased.? [Muslim]

Narrated ?Abdullah: ?Once the Prophet offered five Rakat in Zuhr prayer. He was asked, ?Is there an increase in the prayer?? The Prophet said, «And what is it?» They said, ?You have prayed five Rakat.? So he bent his legs and performed two prostrations (of Sahu). [Al-Bukhari]
